A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web.

Well, no; SELinux is enabled as far as the kernel is aware (unless
selinux=0 was specified on the grub boot line), but no policy is loaded
until init starts and loads it.

init reexecutes itself if it determines SELinux is enabled and loading
the initial policy worked, and in the strict policy that will cause a
domain transition.

Right, because of the domain_auto_trans you posted originally.
